Abstract
Arcy-sur-Cure provides substantial information for documenting the transition from the Middle to Upper Paleolithic. An important stratigraphic sequence covers the transition in the Grotte du Renne, with a sequence spanning from Mousterian through Châtelperronian to Aurignacian. The Châtelperronian includes distinctive Neanderthal fossil material. The neighboring Grotte du Bison includes a sequence from the Mousterian through the Châtelperronian. While much attention has been paid to the transition from Neanderthals to anatomically modern humans, relatively little has been paid to the transition from flake to blade industries within the context of a pre-modern hominid species, the Neanderthals. Of primary interest to this analysis are the Mousterian Level I and the Châtelperronian Level D of the Grotte du Bison. This study focuses on identifying continuity or change in environment or subsistence practices between the Mousterian and the Châtelperronian, rather than examining the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition.
